The CEP is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and administered by the Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in each Local Authority area.
Any not-for-profit Community and Voluntary group can apply. The funding covers capital projects only. In cases where both current and capital works are carried out together, only the capital element can be funded through this Programme. Projects must be in keeping with the ethos of the programme, which is to provide funding to communities across Ireland to enhance facilities in disadvantaged areas. The following provides a non-exhaustive list of capital projects that could receive funding under the programme:
§ Development/renovation of community centres
§ Once off maintenance of premises. This does not include regular routine maintenance
§ Community amenities
§ Development of youth clubs or facilities
§ Development of sports/recreation facilities
§ Improvements to town parks and common areas and spaces
§ Development of play/recreation spaces
§ Energy efficiency type projects
§ Purchase of Equipment
This funding is targeted towards enhancing community facilities for individuals and communities that are impacted by disadvantage as identified in the Local Economic and Community Plan(LECP). The application form is detailed and is designed to ensure that it has the necessary information to evaluate each proposal accurately and fairly. Please ensure that you complete the 2019 application form in full and that any documentation in support of your application is submitted with your application.
Applications can be made online at www.yourcouncil.ie to the relevant LCDC by 4pm on Friday, 28th June 2019. For any queries please email: communitydevelopmentuni
